Shipping was not part of the contingencies of the bet.
First of all, on our site title is definitely part of the agreement. We do not count the current status as BFL "shipping" the products
Turns out it is part of the bet, which is why I ended up switching my opinion in the end.
That was ambiguous at the time however because it also says this underneath the title:
For this statement to be false, both of the two following conditions must be met:
Condition 1
Condition 2
That clearly excludes the title.
The conditions are there to prevent BFL from shipping a box of rocks and labeling it with ASIC DEVICE. Aside from the obvious shipping issue, the information provided was not credible. Whatever credibility Luke had before went out the window with this stunt. What a sad situation. I wish this much energy was put into actually making a product instead of using it to string people along and weasel out of bets. The most recent double penetration insult of lowering the hashrate and doubling the price is just comical. I'm more glad than ever that i jumped off this train wreck in December.
Actually the conditions are there to determine if the statement if false or not... like the first half of the sentence says.
In my mind it doesnt matter what you define shipping as, because the bet defined it for you... using the two conditions.
